Lost Star is reportedly quitting television. The sixth and final season of J.J. Abrams (Star Trek) strange and original sci-fi drama series Lost is still half a year away, but it’s going to spell the end of his television career according to Matthew Fox himself. So read on and if it's only feature films he's interested in doing maybe he should give Warner Brothers a call, he's perfect for the Flash!
From numerous websites like THEGATE and many others have run many stories that suggest the Matthew Fox feels he needs a break from TV’s hectic scheduling, which we all know can be way over 12 hours shifts a lot of the time.
Fox is quoted of saying “I am not going to do television again, that is not because I think film is better than television. Not at all, in some respects some of the best story telling is happening on television.”
“I have done two TV shows – Lost and Party of Five – that have each run for six years,” Fox continued. “When you add it all up it is in the vicinity of 300 hours of television… I am 42 and a father of two children and I don’t want to miss them growing up. I don’t want to find myself ten years from now feeling like I was an absentee father because I was so focused on my career.”
Matthew Fox plays Jack Shephard on the series Lost, which the sixth season is due back on television next January.
Well without TV commitments that's a good sign he could land the role of The Flash (Barry Allen) well that is if he goes to the auditions for it when Warner Bros starts them up. He'd be silly not to, after all a lot of you on here too agree he's perfect for the role of Barry and i reckon Warner Brothers will see it too!
Here's some casting calls i did, hope you all enjoy them.
Police scientist Barry Allen was struck by lightning in his lab one night and splashed with chemicals from a nearby cabinet. He found he could run at super-speed. Inspired by Jay Garrick, Allen adopted the identity of the Flash, quickly becoming a celebrated hero we all know and love = THE FLASH!
Matthew Fox as Barry Allen =
Now like ive said he's perfect for the role and if you have seen the actor at work be it Lost or Vantage Point or anything else even, you know he is a quality actor and could pull off Barry Allen in his sleep! If Warner Bros want to make a Flash movie less mainstream then they might think about making it the death of the Flash type of movie. Think about it, it's never been done to kill off the main character say halfway or three quarters of the way through a superhero movie. It's not done before but could really work and that brings my next pick.
Jensen Ackles as Wally West =
Now if you have seen Supernatural you know he could easily play Barry's nephew Wally. He has that cockyness about him just like our loved Wally West and after Barry loses his life, Wally takes up the mantle to honor his mentor and uncle just like in the comic books. Who knows, even nab that superhero franchise for himself now Ryan Reynolds is out of the RUNNING for Flash lol! But like many Reynolds would of made a great Wally West but im hoping he'll blow us all away as Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) now.
Mark Hamill as the Trickster =
The original Trickster is a practical joker and conman whose favorite occupation is damaging enemies like the Flash with items such as explosive teddy bears.His alter ego is James Jesse (the opposite of Jesse James), a stage name to replace his true identity, Giovanni Giuseppe. He was a circus acrobat who decided to become a criminal for the thrill.
Yeah i know what your thinking he's getting on a bit but he is the Trickster and a classic actor that deserves a role like this in a big movie! Think about it if they can make Patrick Stewart twenty, thirty years younger in the X-men movies Warner Bros could take a good fifteen, twenty years off Mr Hamill. He is the Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger of the Trickster and it don't hurt he played Trickster in the Flash television series and done a great job as the Joker. Mark Hamill has been around the Dc and Marvel Universes for years so i reckon he's right for the part.
Neal McDonough as Captain Cold =
Leonard Snart was raised by an abusive father and took refuge with his grandfather, who worked in an ice truck. When his grandfather died, Len grew tired of his father's abuse and set out to start a criminal career. Snart joined up with a group of small-time thieves and in planning out a robbery, each was issued a gun and a visor to protect their eyes against the flashes of gunfire. This visor design would later be adapted by Snart into his trademark costume. In recent years he has added a radio receiver to them which picks up the police band to monitor local law enforcement.
What can we say, he's a good actor and that cold look is perfect for Captain Cold!
Robert Carlyle as Mirror Master =
Sam Scudder is a simple convict, but he has the goal to learn how to get inside the reflection of a mirror. Stumbling into a hall of mirrors, he experiments and discovers a way to get in his own reflection. He uses this power to become the criminal Mirror Master.
A top quality British actor that would own the role of Mirror Master!
Hugh Jackman as Captain Boomerang =
Secretly the illegitimate son of an American soldier and an Australian woman, Harkness was raised in poverty, during which time he developed great skill in making boomerangs, and in using them as weapons. As a young adult, he was hired as a performer and boomerang promoter by a toy company which was owned by his biological father, which he knew nothing about. Audiences ridiculed him, and a resentful Harkness turned to using his boomerangs for crime.
Well we know he's Wolverine but how about the Dc villain? I say heck yes, he could play Captain Boomerang and make it his own. Who wouldn't want to see Hugh in this role?
David Tennant as Weather Wizard =
Escaping a prison transport, Mark Mardon fled to his brother's house only to find him dead. Mardon's brother, Clyde, a scientist, had just discovered a way to control the weather before dying of a heart attack (although recent evidence implies that Mardon murdered his brother and either lied about or blocked out the memory of finding his body). Mardon took Clyde's notes and used them to make a wand to generate weather and embarked on a criminal career as The Weather Wizard.
David Tennant another great British actor and he could put his own spin on Weather Wizard like he does with Doctor Who, he's a class actor and would easily put that class in the evil villain Weather Wizard.
Seann Willaim Scott as The Trickster II =
Axel Walker, okay a bit a head of time for this one but the actor is perfect for the role and he has the acting chops to prove it, just watch any of his movies his been in, he is amazing. Also the guy is perfect for the role of the original Trickster too i reckon, though Hamill will always be the Trickster.
Ryan Reynolds as Rainbow Raider =
Im sure Ryan would jump at the chance of playing this villain to be in the Flash movie. Okay you got me, this is a joke one! Very lame villain that just wouldn't work on the big screen, but im sure Reynolds would play him though heh heh.
Zoe Kazan as Iris Allen =
Okay to be truthful i don't know anything about this actress other than that she was going to play Iris in the Justice League movie that went to the DC sky (Well for now anyway). She looks good and hey i know Fox is a lot older but hey that's life lol and happens all the time. So yeah she must of done some thing right to get the part in the first place, so i say her. Oh yeah, she is Barry's wife if you didn't guess.
Well that's the casting call though of course they wont all be in the first Flash movie but hey there's always SUPERMAX!
LEEE777 - Well hope you all enjoyed it! ; )
